Considerations & Trade-offs
- Not for use with Blackpowder, so it is limited to smokeless powder applications only.
- Bluetooth control depends on the RCBS app, so some users may prefer to operate it directly from the touchscreen instead.
- The unit can run from an external battery pack, but that power option is an added setup consideration rather than a built-in battery.
- The 16 segment LCD touchscreen and audible-beep settings add convenience, but they also introduce more interface steps than a purely manual scale and dispenser.
